Is it too late to start again to start over to stop and start over
control my fall to land safely to break my fall to halt to start again
ascend to feel the sun I look below to see how far I must descend
relax to rise higher to feel the heat to see how far I can hover
under duress I must confess I am falling ever so fast stop stop
stop my rapid descent I dive into darkness into despair I plunge
higher higher higher until sunshine melts wax feathers flutter I fall
until I plunge enter the sea hard as marble I dive beyond my ken
broken I die my skull shatter my bones batter never will I ascend
rise up lift me higher salty the sea my mind without a word to say
if I listen I hear I am legend in death in life my flight I drop
shimmer icy dusty comet azure brilliant blue sky I scream I lunge
mask my terror enter the sea I dive I plunge I scream I lunge I call
your name father before I die before my death I fall I drown I hear
tin drum battle cry fly not too high nor too low into the sun the sea
how did I fall the heat the salt the sun the sea I dive into the bay
o gods you name the sea after disgrace my fall hubris I die I fear
silence the wine-dark sea swallow me whole legend I am now free
